This project investigates the genetic and cellular mechanisms behind structural coloration in birds, particularly focusing on peacock feather colors. By combining genetics, molecular biology, and photonics, it aims to understand how nanostructures and pigments interact to produce these vibrant colors.
Structural colouration is widespread in nature and generates some of the most stunning visual effects known (e.g. eyespots in a peacock tail).
In bird feathers, structural colours are produced by the combination of pigments and precise arrangements of nanostructures that interact both chemically and physically.
Currently, almost all published studies on structural colour have focused on the optical and physical aspects of this phenomenon, while the underlying molecular mechanisms remain almost t…
